Why would you dislike it? It has the highest percentage of victory of any country. You do not need to have an ally to win, necessarily, since Austria is pinned between Turkey & Italy. It usually makes no sense for Turkey to have Austria as a long-term ally. Italy usually fights Austria, so you have that help as well. Essentially, if you can negotiate a NAP with England & Germany, you're in good shape. Russia usually wins.
@Putin33, must be apreference thing, because some people love it and some hate it. My preference chain is: Full press: France/Germany, Italy, Turkey, Austria, Russia, England. Gunboats: Turkey, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Russia.
I just can't seem to do very well with Russia. I like Russia as an ally but from the other direction not so much.
In all seriousness now, my preference order is: Full Press: Russia, Turkey, Germany, France, England, Austria, Italy Gunboat: Turkey, Russia, France, England, Germany, Italy, Austria
I think Turkey is probably best overall, but Russia is very good if you don't have trouble on the northern coast.

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: "What A Piece Of Work Is A Man!" (Well...Wha IS He?)
I've been asking everyone I can all week, partly because I'm starting a new part of the book I'm trying to write, partly because I'm listening to an old lecture series based partly on it, and partly because it's a FUN question--what MAKES a "human being," and what makes you..."you?" Is it just a physical aspect, or is there a soul--and since we change every day, are we the same "person" we were the day before? Are we eternal in any way? What are WE?
Hey, I need a sitter, but only for one game. I'm in a live game right now, as Italy, and I'm in a fairly good position. I need to leave really soon, so if anyone could finish that game for me, just let me know in the next few minutes and i'll give you my password.

... in the alphabetical disbanding of units that are tied for length away from home SCs. They are supposed to disband in alphabetical order, but I don't believe they do. Does anyone know exactly what the protocol is, not what it should be?
So a bank CEO, a member of a conservative party, and a union worker go into a donut shop together, and walk out with a dozen donuts. The bank CEO takes 11 of the donuts, and then tells the conservative party member, "Watch out, or the union guy is going to get half of your donut."
I am currently engaged in the following world dip game - gameID=49579 . I, India, have just succeeded in defeating Pac-Russia. In the fall before he was defeated, he had one unit in his last supply center, Bangladesh. He then tried, in the fall move, to take Calcutta.
Let me start off by saying that this idea was not based on any current game that I'm in. Generally speaking, France and England will have a hard time cooperating as allies for an extended period of time. Now it was mentioned to me that an English fleet in Brest would be a good solution to this problem/dilemma. What are your thoughts?
The NFL Owners/Players Negotiations Break Down: Lawsuits Pending, Possibly A Lockout
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2011/03/report-nfl-players-association-applies-for-decertification/1 It doesn't look good for the NFL right now...according to ESPN, lawsuits and lawsuits OVER lawsuits are one the way as the Players and Owners fail to come to terms...it's still early, but this could draw on for a LONG time...my 49ers might be sitting on that 7-9 record for longer than I thought...
Should we send in the Marines to the 'Shores of Tripoli'
The US Marine corps hymn says that they fight to the 'shores or Tripoli' is it time for them to return or do we (as western nations) avoid any military involvement in Libya?
Hello, I was wondering if it was possible (my guess is that it is) to attack Spain from the Mid Atlantic ocean and support from west mediterranean or gulf of Lyon since it has two coasts (I'm guessing it's only to prevent boats from moving from one to the other...).
